The Babe in Bethlem�s manger laid,
In humble form so low,
By wond�ring angels is surveyed,
Thro� all His scenes of woe.
Nowell, Nowell�
O sing a Savior�s birth:
All hail His coming down to earth,
Who raises us to Heav�n.
A Savior! sinners all around
Sing, shout the wondrous word;
Let every bosom hail the sound,
A Savior! Christ the Lord.
Nowell, Nowell�
O sing a Savior�s birth:
All hail His coming down to earth,
Who raises us to Heav�n.
For not to sit on David�s throne
With worldly pomp and joy,
He came for sinners to atone,
And Satan to destroy.
Nowell, Nowell�
O sing a Savior�s birth:
All hail His coming down to earth,
Who raises us to Heav�n.
To preach the word of life divine,
To give the living bread,
To heal the sick with hand benign,
And raise to life the dead.
Nowell, Nowell�
O sing a Savior�s birth:
All hail His coming down to earth,
Who raises us to Heav�n.
He preached, He suffered,
bled and died,
Uplift �twixt earth and skies;
In sinners� stead was crucified,
For sin a sacrifice.
Nowell, Nowell�
O sing a Savior�s birth:
All hail His coming down to earth,
Who raises us to Heav�n.
Well may we sing the Savior�s birth,
Who need the grace so giv�n,
And hail His coming down to earth,
Who raises us to Heav�n.
Nowell, Nowell�
O sing a Savior�s birth:
All hail His coming down to earth,
Who raises us to Heav�n.
